                        TRIBUTE TO TERRY LINDSEY

 Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to a local 
leader and a true public servant, Mr. Terry Lindsey.
  Several years ago, Terry took the helm of marketing at Engineered 
Fabrics, one of the largest employers in the Rockmart, GA, area. At the 
end of March, after 33 years on the job, he will leave Engineered 
Fabrics better than when he started.
  In addition to serving Engineered Fabrics, Terry has spent a great 
deal of his life promoting his community.
  Over the years, Terry has sponsored and hosted several Washington 
fly-ins, giving the Polk County delegation the opportunity to discuss 
issues of importance to the community with the Georgia congressional 
delegation--whether it be issues impacting small businesses, banks, 
education, or other critical issues to Polk County.
  I have had the opportunity to get to know Terry during these visits, 
and I can tell you he is a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy. His friends 
will tell you that he loves his job, wife, country and God, and is 
truly thankful for what he has.
  Terry, a longtime member of the Polk County Chamber of Commerce, has 
been involved in strengthening his community through activities such as 
the Youth Leadership committee and hosting the Development Authority of 
Polk County and the Intergovernmental Committee of Polk. He has also 
been a member of the Rotary Club of Rockmart/Polk County, and has 
provided guidance and encouragement as a mentor. I have no doubt he has 
touched many lives throughout his career.
  The leadership and public service he has provided over the years is 
tremendously valuable, and he should be very proud of all he has 
accomplished.

  The entire community will miss Terry's visionary leadership.
  It is my pleasure to congratulate Terry as he concludes his long and 
distinguished career and begins retirement.
